TEMPORARY ATTRIBUTE OF SATAN
For the past several years, it seems this historical display of intellectual evolution has been revealed to me. Guess there's a time in everyone's life when this should happen. Some earlier, and some later... and there are those that simply don't get it, and are left in an ignorant demise.

Issue:
Historically, people have cast the unkown to evil, Satan, or whatever devil lurks in their own religion or faith. That is, until they can understand and accept it, and see "good" in it. It's an intellectual evolution. Child-like and bothersome to objective thought, this temporary steadfast belief rings the bell of ignorance. Look at the evil things regarded as damning throughout history by certain peoples, only to be accepted(and/or sometimes rejected again) as time progressed:

Satan's ToolBox?
  • Reflections/Mirrors
  • Wheels
  • Other races of people
  • Eclipses/Comets/other Planets
  • Weather Patterns
  • Magnetism
  • Medicine
  • Audible Prayer
  • Art
  • Creativity
  • Sex/Nudity
  • HairCuts/No HairCuts
  • Alcohol
  • Music
  • Electricity
  • Radio/Television

    My Take:
    Through-out history, we've attributed the "unlearned" to evil because we didn't understand yet. What today is still considered evil and attributed to an embodiment of evil? As time goes on "Satan" seems to have lost many of his mighty evil "tools" of deception simply by us beginning to understand the unkown. Will this threat to our souls eventually disappear from faith once we've revealed the great scientific secrets of our world?

    Satan has lost quite a bit of ground in the past 100 years as technology races forward. Must suck to be the devil.

    peace-
